Ch. 321..325: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 321-325

Chapter 321

Willard’s eyes were fixed on Nicole the entire time they were having dinner.

In the presence of an enchanting woman like her, no man could stay calm, let alone an old lecher like Willard.

“Miss Swift, you look so beautiful today. Would you be so kind as to give me a chance to be closer to you tonight?”

Upon hearing his meaningful words, Nicole was deep in thought.

With an ugly grin, Willard reached out his hand, trying to hold her hand. However, she raised her hand after picking up a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth to avoid his touch.

She pretended to be coquettish and said, “Mr. Hancock, you have so many gorgeous women around you. Why would you want me to be close to you?”

Her words made him feel like he still had a chance.

Willard narrowed his eyes at her and asked anxiously, “Are you jealous, Miss Swift? If you are, then don’t be. They can never compare with you! I have never been with a woman who is as fascinating as you. I can promise you that as long as you serve me well, I will give you everything you want. I can even make your acting career flourish like never before!”

Willard cut a piece of steak from his plate and served it to her. “What do you think, Miss Swift?”

With a flirty smile, Nicole was trying hard to resist the urge to slam her plate of food on his face.

Seeing their intimate appearances, the waitresses could not fight their urge to gossip.

“Is something wrong with my eyes? Isn’t that Nicole, the famous actress? Why is she with Willard?”

One of the waitresses made a bold guess and asked, “Is Nicole his real mistress?”

“Oh! I actually remember that Nicole once helped his mistress. He probably had two mistresses, and one of them is Nicole!” Another waitress made a bolder statement.

Wyatt was starting to feel really uncomfortable because of their conversation.

“That’s enough!” he hissed, interrupting them with a gloomy expression. “Is this how your manager taught you? Gossiping about guests during working hours?”

His words made them stop gossiping at once.

After all, the manager of the restaurant had warned them that they could never offend Wyatt.

Once things quieted down, Wyatt focused on Nicole and Willard again.

At the same time, Nicole had no clue of what was going on. She was trying to endure the disgusting feeling while listening to the bright future that Willard was talking to her about.

“Mr. Hancock, didn’t you say that your wife was already upset because of Cheryl? How dare you ask me to get involved now? Aren’t you afraid of angering your wife again? If my memory serves right, Mr. Hancock, you started your business with the help of your wife, right?”

Nicole sneered inwardly, thinking that all of Willard’s promises were empty.

Although Willard seemed to be embarrassed for a second, he unscrupulously expressed his dissatisfaction with his wife.

“You know what, Miss Swift? Not only is my wife ugly, she also has a terrible temper. There is nothing feminine about her, and I’m sick of her…”

“So that’s how you really think of me… Honey!”

Shocked by the familiar voice, Willard turned around and saw his wife in horror.

“Mrs. Hancock, did you hear what he just said?” Nicole asked with a bright smile.

“Honey, that’s not true. Let me explain!”

Willard stood up from the chair in panic and tried to hold her hand, but she pulled her hand away in disgust.

“Willard, for the sake of our marriage, I was able to tolerate your affairs a few times, but I did not expect you to think of me as an ugly shrew! It looks like you really want to get a divorce!”

After all, her heart was now broken because of Willard’s constant infidelity.

How could things come to this point?

Moreover, how did she find out that he was there?

Willard staggered back.

“Looks like you have some family matters to deal with, Mr. Hancock, so I won’t be bothering you anymore.”

After enjoying putting him in an embarrassing situation, Nicole smoothed her hair leisurely, picked up her bag, and was about to leave.

Looking back at her with a blank expression, Willard quickly came to his senses.

It was Nicole. She must have told his wife that they were having dinner together!

Nicole had set up a trap for him.

“Stop!” With a fierce look in his eyes, Willard grabbed Nicole’s hand. “You bitch! You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

Chapter 322

“Hey, get your dirty hands off me! Don’t touch me!”

Nicole struggled hard to break free from Willard’s grip.

“Stop pretending! I know it was you. You did all this, right?” Willard yelled madly. “You seduced me first and then pretended to surrender to my wife. All you’ve ever wanted from the very beginning was to sow discord between us. Your ultimate goal is to replace her and marry me. But I’m telling you, there’s no way I can accept you as my wife. You won’t succeed!”

Willard’s reversal of the situation was really wonderful. His wife’s face softened a lot, and she seemed hesitant now.

This old pervert actually complained first, and then put the blame on his victim.

Nicole looked at Willard’s shameless face, gritting her teeth in anger.

If her hand wasn’t held by him, she would have slapped him hard.

But before she could make a move, someone snatched her away from him.

Then a figure suddenly rushed over and gave Willard a hard punch on the face. The huge impact directly caused Willard to fall to the floor.

“Honey!”

Willard’s wife ran over to him and helped him up. Seeing that his face was bruised, she raised her head and scolded, “Who the hell are you? How dare you hit people in broad daylight! Don’t you know who my husband is?”

Nicole stared at the person who had come. She was so shocked when she recognized it was Wyatt.

What was he doing here?

Wyatt twisted his wrist and sneered disdainfully, “Yes, I hit him. And I don’t care who he is. Do you have any problem with that?”

“You…” Willard’s wife got more furious. “Security guards, someone is making trouble here. Come here and catch this violent man. He’s hurting people.”

But no matter how loud Willard’s wife yelled, no security guard came to stop Wyatt.

Wyatt turned his head and looked at the dumbfounded Nicole. Then he sneered, “Why are you just standing there? Are you waiting for a dog to bite you?”

Willard was standing still, covering his swollen face.

When he heard Wyatt’s last sentence, he seemed to have sobered up and instantly got furious. He couldn’t help roaring, “Who are you calling a dog?”

“Whoever talks back to me is a dog. And by the way, you are too noisy. Dogs are not allowed to bark in my restaurant,” Wyatt snapped.

He then turned to the security guards and ordered, “Drive him out!”

After that, he slowly picked up a tissue on the table and wiped his hands.

The security guards, who were indifferent just now, quickly surrounded Willard and captured him at once.

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing? Let go of my husband. Stay away from him!”

Willard’s wife stepped forward to stop the security guards. But unfortunately, her effort was futile.

Willard’s mind was in a mess now.

Who is this young man who suddenly appears out of nowhere? This is his restaurant? Can it be that… Is he Wyatt Todd, the son of the Todd family? He thought.

Willard gasped in shock upon realizing the identity of the young man in front of him.

“Wait…” Willard looked at Wyatt expectantly. “Wyatt, don’t you recognize me? I’m Willard Hancock from Harmony Group. I am a friend of your mother. Can you tell them to let me go? Let’s have a good talk.”

Finally, Wyatt raised his eyes and looked at Willard carefully.

Willard’s eyes lit up. He immediately raised his head and asked, “Do you remember me now?”

But much to his dismay, Wyatt just said lightly, “I don’t know you. Guards, throw him out.”

“Yes, boss!”

The security guards faithfully carried out Wyatt’s order. They dragged Willard out, with his wife following closely behind.

Willard’s eyes widened in astonishment.

He realized that Wyatt was playing tricks on him, so he shouted angrily, “Wyatt, you wait and see! This is not over yet. I will definitely come back and settle accounts with you!”

This farce attracted the attention of almost everyone in the restaurant.

As soon as Willard left, people began to discuss the other person involved, Nicole.

“Isn’t she Nicole, the famous star? Was that man here just now her sugar daddy? Were they caught by that man’s wife?”

“Not only that. Two men were fighting for her just now.”

Actually, Nicole was already used to people talking about her. But this time, the situation was different. She didn’t want Wyatt to be implicated.

She hurriedly put on her sunglasses and turned to leave.

But before she could take a step, a tall figure blocked her way.

Chapter 323

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Have you eaten?” Wyatt asked awkwardly after stopping Nicole.

Since Nicole walked too hastily, she bumped into him.

She lowered her head, and her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her dress. She answered in a low voice, “No, I won’t eat. There are too many people here. What happened just now was big. I have to leave right away.”

“Don’t worry about it. Sit down and eat with peace of mind.” Wyatt gave Nicole a piercing gaze. “Since you didn’t do anything wrong, why would you leave?”

Nicole was stunned for a moment. What did Wyatt want? Was he inviting her to dinner?

She subconsciously raised her head and stared at him in surprise.

The next moment, Wyatt turned around, looked at everyone in the restaurant, and said aloud, “I’m sorry for causing trouble to everyone here today. Let me introduce the famous star and also a friend of mine, Nicole. And to express my apology, all your meals today are on the house. But I hope you can stop talking about this incident and let this beauty have a peaceful meal.”

The crowd in the restaurant suddenly burst into cheers.

“You are such a generous young man!”

Since their meals were on the house, the customers naturally cooperated with Wyatt. What was more, he openly introduced his relationship with Nicole. So the discussion gradually disappeared.

After the problem was solved, Wyatt pulled Nicole into a private room and pressed her into a chair, forcing her to sit down.

“Have a seat.”

“Wyatt, what the hell are you doing?” Nicole was filled with confusion.

“Eat, of course. What else will I do?”

Wyatt picked up the menu, ordered a few dishes, and then stopped talking.

This was the first time that they had stayed in the same space for so long since the last time they saw each other.

No one said a word, and there was pin-drop silence in the private room.

But there was indescribable intimacy in the atmosphere between them. It seemed that both of them were waiting for the other to express their thoughts first.

But the intimate atmosphere didn’t last long because soon, the waiter came in and served the dishes.

Cheesy baked crab, vegetable salad, corn soup, and lamb chops.

All were Nicole’s favorite dishes.

“You…”

Nicole pursed her lips lightly with a complicated look in her eyes.

It turned out that he still remembered her favorite dishes.

She stared blankly at the table full of delicious dishes but didn’t eat anything.

Wyatt lowered his eyes as if he was looking at the dishes. But the truth was, he was peeping at Nicole.

He wondered why she wasn’t eating.

Then he remembered that last time, she said she was on a strict diet, trying to lose weight for a new role.

Just when he thought she still chose to waste food, she suddenly picked up the knife and fork and began to eat happily.

Wyatt was stunned for a moment, but he couldn’t help smiling.

The scene in front of him seemed familiar.

Memories flooded him like tides, and scenes of the past appeared in his mind.

When Nicole was still a fledgling newcomer in the entertainment industry, she was determined to lose weight for an insignificant role, which she had gotten with difficulty.

But she was also a foodie. Every time she went out with Wyatt, she couldn’t help ordering a lot of dishes. However, she couldn’t eat them. In the end, she could only drool and watch him eat.

At that time, she always held his arm and acted like a spoiled child.

Then she said, “Wyatt, help me eat these dishes, okay?”

“You little foodie,” Wyatt said with a smile, poking Nicole’s forehead dotingly. “You know you can’t eat that much, right? Why did you order so many dishes? Don’t you feel uncomfortable watching me eat?”

“No, I don’t,” Nicole retorted. “If I watch you eat it, I will tell myself that I have eaten it too. As a good boyfriend, what’s wrong with helping your girlfriend eat something?”

“Okay, okay. But next time, don’t order too much, okay?”

It took Wyatt a lot of effort to finish all the dishes that Nicole ordered. But the next time, she still did the same.

After all, he would do whatever she asked him to do every time she acted like a spoiled child in front of him.

They were filled with happiness back then.

Wyatt was so immersed in these good memories that he couldn’t extricate himself from them until Nicole woke him up.

“Wyatt, let’s talk.”

Chapter 324

Nicole put her knife and fork down. “I just… I just wanted to teach that old pervert a lesson. I didn’t really want to have a meal with him in private.”

Even if the entire world misunderstood her, Wyatt couldn’t.

Nicole didn’t want him to misunderstand that she was a woman who wouldn’t hesitate to sell herself for fame and fortune.

“You don’t have to explain. I could see it. It was pretty obvious. I know you wanted to revenge Eliana, by deliberately fooling Willard.”

It was precisely why Wyatt was confused.

If Nicole was still the same as she was five years ago, and wasn’t influenced by fame and fortune, why did she dump him?

She had betrayed him for five million dollars.

Which one is her true color? Wyatt wondered.

But Nicole’s true nature had nothing to do with him.

Everything had ended between them when she chose to dump him and disappear with the five million dollars.

The mere thought infuriated Wyatt.

“I’m afraid Willard can’t afford to keep you as a mistress. After all, you were worth five million dollars five years ago.”

Wyatt’s words pricked Nicole’s heart like a sharp needle.

She choked on the food and began coughing violently.

Wyatt was flustered.

He immediately picked up a glass of water and walked to Nicole.

“Drink some water. Quick!”

Wyatt rubbed Nicole’s back while feeding the water.

“You bastard, what did you do to her?”

The door of the private room suddenly flew open, and Esteban stormed inside.

He had been waiting outside the restaurant the entire time because he was worried about Nicole. He knew Nicole well and estimated that Willard’s issue wouldn’t end peacefully. Considering Nicole was inside for a long time, Esteban grew anxious and broke in.

But he was surprised it wasn’t Willard but someone he didn’t expect to see: Wyatt And he was bullying Nicole.

Esteban pushed Wyatt away and ran to Nicole.

“Oh, my God! Are you okay?” he asked concernedly.

Esteban grew angry when he saw the unfinished lamb chop on Nicole’s plate. He looked at Wyatt, anger blazing in his eyes.

“Wyatt, are you out of your mind? Nicole has been on a diet for a long time to lose weight. She seldom eats anything. Her stomach can’t withstand the binge eating.”

What?

Wyatt was startled.

A wave of regret consumed him.

He wasn’t aware of Nicole’s situation and felt bad for forcing her to eat.

“I… Ahem… I’m okay. You… Don’t blame him…” Nicole said breathlessly, trying to calm Esteban.

Seeing that Nicole was still defending Wyatt even though she was choking, Esteban couldn’t utter a word.

He took a deep breath and looked at Wyatt. “Mr. Todd, since you and Nicole broke up a long time ago, you better stay away from her. Your presence will only hinder her career.”

The guilt in Wyatt’s heart was instantly replaced with endless anger and bitterness.

Wake up! Haven’t you suffered enough because of her? Why are you embarrassing yourself over and over again? Wyatt thought.

He then closed his eyes to conceal his emotions. There was an undisguised coldness in his eyes when he opened them again.

“Get out! Leave my restaurant right away with this cash cow. Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t appear in front of me ever again.”

“Stop arguing!” Nicole sprang up to her feet and shouted.

Her eyes had turned red due to her cough. She looked at Wyatt for one last time as if she wanted to imprint his face in her mind.

“You don’t have to remind us, Mr. Todd. We are leaving now. Thank you for your hospitality.”

With Esteban’s help, Nicole left the private room.

When she turned around, a drop of tear trickled down her cheek.

But Wyatt was oblivious to her pain and sadness. He turned around and didn’t bother looking back.

Chapter 325

The clock ticked slowly ever since she was locked up. Every minute seemed like an eternity. Eliana couldn’t hold on any longer.

Besides, she had lost her phone. She hadn’t contacted her family for almost two days. The children and Nana must be anxious now.

What do I do? Eliana wondered.

Her stomach was churning with anxiety. Just as she wondered what to do, the gate that had been locked for two days finally flew open.

Maurice came back.

Eliana immediately sprang to her feet and darted toward the gate.

As expected, Maurice effortlessly picked her up and stopped her.

“Maurice, you have locked me up for two days. What the hell do you want?” she roared as angry tears filled her eyes.

Maurice slowly closed the gate and threw Eliana on the floor.

He lazily slumped on the sofa, and his deep eyes bore into Eliana’s.

“I just have one simple request: fairness.”

“Fairness?” Eliana was stunned.

“You know all my secrets. It’s fair only if you share your secrets with me. I can investigate it and find the result. But I want you to tell me the truth, Eliana.”

“What do you mean?” Eliana’s heart skipped a beat.

“I want to know…” Maurice cleared his throat and said, “I want to know if the two children are mine or not.”

The words came like the bolt in the blue and caught Eliana off guard.

Does Maurice know about the children? Should I tell him the truth? And most importantly, if Maurice finds that he’s the father of the twins, will he be a good father?

Countless thoughts swarmed in Eliana’s mind.

Maurice was wearing a formal suit. However, the little bowknot on his head looked comical. He was holding Aileen in his arms and carrying Adrian on his back with a milk bottle in his hand. “If you keep crying, I will throw you away…” he grunted at the crying children.

Eliana imaged the scene as her skin broke into goosebumps.

He seemed very unreliable.

Maurice didn’t cut for a father.

Besides, it was unreasonable for him to pretend to be two different people to deceive her.

And worst of all, she was sure the Moran family had something to do with the destruction of the Pierce family.

She was already going through a lot and couldn’t let her children suffer as well.

Eliana looked up and met Maurice’s expectant eyes.

At that moment, she made up her mind to hide the truth.

“Aileen and Adrian are not your children,” she lied. “I met their father abroad.”

Eliana was still quibbling.

Maurice’s brows furrowed. He grew irritated.

Then, he took out something from his pocket. It was the phone Eliana had accidentally lost that day.

She was doomed.

Eliana froze on the spot; she couldn’t move.

“I’m sure a lot of secrets must be hidden in the phone. I’ve asked Corbin to look for someone to crack the password.”

Maurice turned on the phone and began browsing the photos in the gallery.

There were a lot of pictures of Eliana and the twins ever since they were born.

Strangely enough, there were no pictures of the father of the twins that Eliana had mentioned.

“Are you still lying? As you say, if the father of the twins isn’t me, then why don’t you have a picture of him? Where is he now? Why hasn’t he come to see his children?” Maurice asked, fixing Eliana with a piercing stare.

Eliana’s heart beat wildly as if it was about to jump out of her chest. The intensity of his gaze and the warning in his eyes frightened her.

“So what if I don’t have any pictures of him? The father of the children was with me the entire time. He was the one who took care of us all these years abroad.”

Eliana bit the bullet and continued to lie.

Abroad?

Maurice’s pupils contracted as someone came to mind.

Jonathan…

“Is Jonathan Bowman the father of your children?” he asked, examining her face.
